Configure License Notifications

This topic provides instructions for configuring notification settings for the Local License Server (LLS). If you wish to receive alerts about the approaching license expiration date, you can configure NetWitness Platform to send notifications. You can receive notification by email, syslog and SNMP. You can also view the notification during system log on and in the Notification Tray. You can also specify the number of days before expiration as a threshold for notification.

To configure the notification:

Log on to NetWitness Platform,

Go to ADMIN > System.

Select Licensing.

Select the Settings tab.

Select each of the methods for NetWitness Platform to use when sending a notification about the license status.

To receive a notification at log on, select Login and specify the number of days before the license expires that you want to receive notification in the Login Window Threshold field.

To receive a notification in the Notifications tray, select Notification Tray and specify the number of days before the license expires that you want to receive notification in the Notification Tray Threshold field.

To receive an Email notification to a configured distribution list, select Email and select Configure email or distribution list. The Email panel is displayed in a separate tab, and you can configure notifications in the Email Server Settings section. Refer to the System Configuration Guide for further details.

To receive syslog notifications, select Syslog and click Configure Syslog and SNMP Trap servers. The System Auditing panel opens in another tab and you can configure the system settings.

To receive notifications through SNMP Trap, select SNMP Trap and select Configure Syslog and SNMP Trap servers. The System Auditing panel opens in another tab and you can configure the SNMP auditing settings.
